I've found anything by Leonard Cohen or Willie Nelson puts the critters out cold. None of them has ever made it through a whole album. It was an accident. The other half was testing out speakers and kept playing the same set of albums over and over. Those were the only ones that conked them out. Worth a try?

@ Bunnykins: When your cat is having a full-blown panic attack and you cannot make her understand "Kitty is safe, it's OK, monsters cannot get in the house!" - Yes. Almost anything would be worth trying! Seems to me both singers have low, mellow voices, at least on most of their work, yes?

About Me

Middle-aged Middle-westerner, retired Marine and Detroiter who somehow wound up in a farm village of 1100 people. I am a Red Cross volunteer and adrenalin junkie, and recently retired from my job as a bioterrorism/public health planner. My hobbies are military history and needlework. I share the bungalow with the Spousal Unit, Batdog our GSD, Reserve Cat, our very large and increasingly grumpy ginger tom, and the New Kids (Sheba and Minnie). You will find here free patterns from my collection of pre-1955 needlework magazines (sewing, knitting, tatting, crochet, embroidery, etc) as well as old recipes, vintage household hints, poetry, occasional rants, LOLCats, and any pieces of ephemera that tickle my fancy.
